Screen Raises $1.9M in Funding

screenScreen, a NYC-based home automation (IoT) solution to setting healthy limits on family screen time, raised $1.9m in funding.

Backers included Lerer Hippeau Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Advancit Capital, Novel TMT Ventures, Box Group, Maveron Capital and angel investor Peter Hershberger.

Led by Founder and CEO Tali Orad, the company has developed technology that manages screen-based electronics – including phones/tablets, PCs, TVs, game consoles and streaming devices like Apple TV – from a mobile app that works both inside and outside the home, shows how, where and for what reason devices are being used, and allows parents to “shutdown” all devices with a shake of the mobile phone from any location.
After a year of research and development, along with multiple focus groups and user experience testing, the product is now working with Beta user families.
